Anil Kumble document:
Coach should earn 60% of skipper's fees
Former India coach Anil Kum-
ble believed that coaches de-
served a pay raise but did make
one demand that could be seen
as controversial.
Remunerations dominated former
India coach Anil Kumble's 19-page
proposal on restructuring of con-
tracts to the BCCI in which he had
demanded that the "chief coach
should earn 60 percent of the cap-
tains' estimated earnings"
.
The document also supported na-
tional coaches "earning from IPL" to
"augment their income" without
specifying whether it amounts to
'Conflict of Interest'
.
He had also suggested that 20 per-
cent of the players' Central Contracts
should be variable pay based on their
"fitness standards"
.
The PTI has access to Kumble's
presentation, which he submitted
on Committee Of Administrators'
(COA) behest during the final of the
IPL on May 21.
Titled 'Restructuring of Remuner-
ation And Contracts of Personnel Of
The Indian Cricket Team', Kumble, on
Page 12 of the document, proposed
a hike for the support staff.
Under Point No 10 'The Suggested
Change: Enablers'
, the former skipper
had given a four-column tabulation
chart.
'Enablers' is a terminology Kumble
used for the team's support staff.
While suggesting a hike of Rs 7.5
crore from the 'current' Rs 6.5 crore,
Kumble in the 'Remarks' column
wrote: "At 60 percent of Captains'
estimated earnings'
. Eligible for 30
percent of his salary as variable bo-
nus on team performance"
.
Kumble's proposal is an indicator
that whenever Virat Kohli would have
earned more from the BCCI, his own
earnings would have gone up pro-
portionately.
The chart also suggested that
Sanjay Bangar's salary be hiked
from current Rs 1 crore to Rs 2.25
crore while R Sridhar should get Rs
1.75 crore instead of the current Rs
1 crore with "retrospective effect"
from June 1, 2016.
However, something that has
caught the attention of BCCI man-
darins is his suggestion of national
coaches "earning from IPL"
.
Interestingly, former COA member
Ramachandra Guha, in his parting
shot, had written about national
coaches "moonlighting" for IPL
teams which he termed as a clear
case of Conflict of Interest.
Many had perceived it as Guha's
veiled dig at Rahul Dravid, who dou-
bled up as India A and U-19 as well
Delhi Daredevils franchise.
However, Kumble in Page 11,
Point No 9 stated: "Guidelines for
Enablers" stated: "The Players are
kept out of the contracts during two
months IPL window. Similarly, the
Coaches too need to be kept put of
contract allowing them to be a part
of the IPL -- this will enable them
to augment their earnings and gain
more experience particularly for the
T20 games."
A BCCI official, who has studied
Kumble's proposal document, told
PTI: "While a lot of issues are perti-
nent but even his proposal on IPL is
contrary to what Guha had written in
his letter. If we go by what Guha had
written, what Anil had demanded is
a clear case of 'Conflict of Interest'."
While he had suggested separate
'Red and White Ball' retainership
contracts, which had earlier been
reported, there was one interesting
point about a portion of Players' 're-
tainership Fees' or central contract
money being linked as a "variable
pay" subject to maintaining "fitness
and Other Team Standards".
As per Page 6 under Point No.5
'Suggested Changes: Players', Kum-
ble had given another four-column
tabulation chart.
Under the remarks Column for
the 'Annual Retainership Fees' for
both Tests, ODIs and T20s, Kumble
wrote: "20 percent of the Retainer
money can be given subject to a
player managing his fitness levels
and other team fitness standards
during the year."
Among other demands where "de-
fined amounts" instead of "ad-hoc
payments" for various wins like Rs
2 crore per player for 50-over World
Cup while Champions Trophy and
World T20 should carry a prize mon-
ey of Rs 1 crore per player, each.
He had demanded "Superannu-
ation fund from a part of Retainer
Fee-access to post retirement" -- a
'Benefit Package' with compound
interest.
This is like companies deducting
a portion of an employee's salary for
Provident Fund and Gratuity.
